Controversial TN Mosque to Officially Open Today With Midday Prayer

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (TheBlaze/AP) — It’s been a long-fought battle, but it’s finally opening day for a Tennessee mosque after opponents waged a two-year court battle trying to stop it.
Leaders of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro say they intend to hold midday prayers in the new building Friday.
Their quest to see the house of worship open took a turn in April when opponents of the then-proposed mosque made their case against it at trial. Then, construction was subsequently nearly halted in May when a state court ruled the public didn’t get enough notice that the center was planned.
Last month, a federal judge granted the mosque’s request for an emergency order that would open the building in time for the holy month of Ramadan, which is still under way.
The controversy came with some bizarre elements as well. Eric Allen Bell, a liberal filmmaker, came out in support of the mosque and even began putting together a film defending its creation back in 2012. Oddly, he reportedly changed sides this year and began fighting against the house of worship.
Rutherford County officials cleared the building for use by issuing a temporary occupancy permit this week. WBIR has more about the steps that will need to be taken to secure a permanent occupancy certificate:
David Jones, director of the county’s Building Codes Department, said some landscaping work remains to be done at the mosque. Some minor work remains to be done on the fire alarm as well, said the state fire marshal’s office.
Once that work is completed, a permanent occupancy permit can be issued.
“We are hoping to build bridges with the rest of the community, especially with those who might have second thoughts about our congregation,” said mosque board member Saleh Sbenaty, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Mosque leaders say they hope the joy the worshippers feel can now be shared by the community southeast of Nashville.

Posted on August 10, 2012 at 2:31pmMaybe some of us are just more aware of the fact that Islam has a long history of intolerance to other religions. You could argue otherwise, but there are millions of facts otherwise. Maybe Islam has a history of violence, and oh yes Islam was equally involved and to blame for the crusades, which was the Christians response to the Muslims creating the dark ages by violently taking over southern Europe, and taking over and destroying the churches, for cutting off trade routes because of their intolerance of infidels, for taking holy lands for which they had no claim as they did not exist when they became holy lands. It is no coincidence that the Renaissance of Europe began after the Crusades, Of course liberals try to spin that part of history as a time of enlightenment in a battle of science of Christianity, in fact it was Christianity returning science to Europe, science that was stifled by Islamic law. While the Catholic Church may have also suppressed science, the renaissance still blossomed under its rule. Many new scholars are trying to rewrite history by making out the Islamic invaders at the time to have come and just made everything better.

“I don’t recall any other religion threatening to kill me either, make me convert or die or trying to invoke Sharia Laws. ”
Locked: “Why would any other religion than Islam invoke Sharia law? Only Muslims believe in Sharia.”
It’s perfectly plain that she is referring to “Sharia-like” law.
And let me add that your obnoxious defense of Muslims will do you no good, thinking you can pull them under your umbrella of immature utopian fantasies. Sharia law strongly condemns homosexuality and many of its followers hang homosexuals, as Iran did a short while ago.
Things are going to get VERY uncomfortable for you and your kind as Muslim numbers continue to grow in this country.
The Qur’an:
Qur’an (7:80-84) – “…For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds….
Qur’an (7:81) – “Will ye commit abomination such as no creature ever did before you?” This verse is part of the previous text and it establishes that homosexuality as different from (and much worse than) adultery or other sexual sin. According to the Arabic grammar, homosexuality is called the worst sin.
“On Wednesday (Feb.1998) the Taleban ordered the execution of three men for sodomy in the southern town of Kandahar, southern Afghanistan. They were ordered to be buried alive under a pile of stones and a wall was pushed on top of them by a tank.”

No, it’s perfectly obvious that Cofemale said Sharia law. Nice try, though!
“And let me add that your obnoxious defense of Muslims will do you no good, thinking you can pull them under your umbrella of immature utopian fantasies. Sharia law strongly condemns homosexuality and many of its followers hang homosexuals, as Iran did a short while ago.”
Where did I defend Islam? I think that many of its tenets are wrong. I think people commit horrible atrocities in its name. Plus, I’m a Christian: I don‘t think they’d like me very much. As a self-proclaimed “agnostic,” and a homosexual, you’re probably in even worse trouble though. At least I can turn to God in my hour of need.
“Things are going to get VERY uncomfortable for you and your kind as Muslim numbers continue to grow in this country.”
For Christians? Doubt it. See, that’s the funny thing about living in the United States: we have a Constitution that precludes any religion from forcing its views upon others. I’d be much more worried if I lived in Egypt.
But I’m confused; just the other day you were praising Muslims for hanging homosexuals. Self-loathing aside, why are you suddenly upset with them?

Yes, tell us how many Christians bombed abortion clinics or murdered doctors, and please, provide links. But I will guarantee you it is not as many as the Muslims who commit atrocities every damn week of the year. There is a story about Muslims doing something every week.
Also, the supposed Christian who committed heinous acts didn’t always do it in the name of Jesus Christ, they were just psychotic. The Muslims commit their acts in the name of allah. Get your story straight.
The ultimate goal of a “true” Muslim is a One World Caliphate. No Christians, no other religions.

I do not stand against a person’s right in the USA to “worship” as they wish. The freedom of religion comes from out Judeo-Christian roots. It is patterned after the concept of free will.

Until Christian ministers publicly disavows legislating their religion, or forcing it to be taught in science class rooms, disavows discrimination against homosexuals, and promotes equal rights for women, every single Christian church should be shuttered.

That no religious test ought ever to be required as a qualification for any office of profit or trust in this state, other than a declaration of belief in the existence of God; nor shall the legislature prescribe any other oath of office than the oath prescribed by this constitution.”

Posted on August 10, 2012 at 10:38amA pox on this mosque! This is NOT about religious freedom, as the leaders of this mosque claim. It is about getting another foothold in America to spread their violent religion. It is about ultimate control. The good people of Murfreesboro did not want this. The local judge ruled against its opening. I have, from a very reliable source (and the newspaper) that the leaders of this mosque have been sending instructions to the local school system about how to treat and teach the muslim children who will be coming there. Not just a pamphlet, mind you, but 4 yrs of continuous reminders that muslim children are to be treated a certain way. Indoctrination? Special treatment? Whatever it is.. it is concernng to say the least. Yes, I live in Tennessee.

Actually, it was made great by 200 years of being a nation with strong Christian values.
“Every constitution of every one of the 44 states contains language which…recognizes a profound reverence for religion, and an assumption that its influence in all human affairs is essential to the well-being of the community.”
e.g. Maryland 1867: “That, as it is the duty of every man to worship God in such manner as he thinks most acceptable to Him, all persons are equally entitled to protection in their religious liberty…nor shall any person, otherwise competent, be deemed incompetent as a witness or juror on account of his religious belief: provided, he believes in the existence of God, and that, under His dispensation, such person will be held morally accountable for his acts.”
Massachusetts 1780: “It is the right as well as the duty of all men in society publicly, and at stated seasons, to worship the Supreme Being, the great Creator and Preserver of the universe…As the happiness of a people and the good order and preservation of civil government essentially depend upon piety, religion, and morality…Therefore, to promote their happiness, and to secure the good order and preservation of their government, the people of this commonwealth have a right to invest their legislature with power to authorize and require…at their own expense, for the institution of the public worship of God.” http://vftonline.org/EndTheWall/TrinityHistory.htm

Report Post »TeresaJ
Posted on August 10, 2012 at 2:07pmSo, although Maryland is not Federal Constitution, I think it’s wisdom applies. Muslims have every right to build a mosque providing they are promoting healthy, civil, and moral conduct.
If they are not, then people have a right to be concerned.
@ Bruce P. : If you actually knew anything about Christian values, you would know that they are not achieved SIMPLY from the Bible, but by a good deal of prayer and communion with God.
The Articles of the Confederation and the Constitution were not laws for the people (as in quotes from the Bible) so much as they were an establishment of government. A goverment that was arguably brought about after much prayer and reflection. It was unheard of in it’s day, and it does indeed rely heavily on a moral people for it to work. If the people have no basis for morality, it is very easy for corruption to creep in. Already, we have a government of corrupt leaders because we have elected them. Government leaders who ignore our laws and seek thier own power. America falling right back into tyranny is just around the corner if we don’t take steps to stop it.

And what experience around the world happens when exuberiant Islam moves in, is supersized headaches for indigenous people follow. Islam over runs places, and thus follows nothing but problems. Attacks on young girls, schools get petitioned for Islamic prayer rooms, cateterias must follow halal food handling and food preparations regiments. Everything all goes down the poopster accomodating Islam.
And what’s worse, as the Muslim influence increases, Islam attacks you for not being respectful to Islam Old World traditions.
So, incoming demands for Sharia Laws will take precident over common law because common law offends the religious practices of Sharia.

Posted on August 10, 2012 at 10:21amLet’s make no mistake about it. Islam is a fascist ideology, clothed as a “religion,” that advocates the murder of anyone who doesn’t believe as they do. They call their mosques their barracks, and they themselves say jihad is their goal. Jihad, meaning genocide against all the rest of us.
Look at their 1400-year history of plunder, genocide and occupation. Their no-go zones are a symbol of their self-apartheid, supremacy, and occupation. Once they increase their numbers in these no-go zones they then begin to secede from the countries that they occupy, and then they begin their lawless killing and burning of Christian Churches and anyone who refuses to submit to Islam and pay the jizya (Muslim tax), as they are doing all over the Middle East and Africa with impunity. Case in point, the Boko Haram in Africa who are terrorizing Christian Africans and murdering them and burning down their Churches as we speak. Not to mention what the Turkish al Qaeda rebels are doing in Syria where they just hung a small Shiite child after murdering his family.
It won’t be long before they start doing the same thing in America and all the rest of Western Civilization, because the best predictor of future history is past history. To ignore Islam’s brutal aggression and occupation and self-professed supremacy is to hasten the fall of Western Civilization and the end of freedom, and it is to relegate our progeny to slavery to Islam’s sword of intolerance, plunder, genocide and occupat

Posted on August 10, 2012 at 11:20amThe question is, Encinom, how do you stop Islam’s absolute bigotry where they require you to submit (Islam means submit) to Islam’s sword of intolerance and pay the jizya, or they kill you? How do you combat that? The least we can do, who understand Islam’s 1400 years of plunder, mass genocide, and occupation, is to enlighten people into their utter deceit and deception in America, where they continue to preach their hatred of the infidel in their mosques, bought and paid for by the Saudis who have outlawed the building of Christian churches in their own country. How do we monitor their preaching in these mosques when we know what the Qu’ran teaches?
Mohammed, their prophet, waged jihad against the “infidel” every six weeks until he died. When he died there was not an enemy left standing. He did it by terrorizing everyone by going into Medina and beheading all the Jews there and taking their wives as sex slaves and their children as slaves. They are the greatest of slave masters, that’s why they require the jizya. To wage continual jihad. Mohammed required you to submit and pay the jizya, or he killed you. There are no grey areas in Islam’s fascism. Read the Qu’ran, and the Hadith, and remember that the earlier more peaceful verses have been abrogated by the later ones.

Posted on August 10, 2012 at 10:36amIt is difficult for a tolerant society to absorb a people who do not share its value of tolerance. Especially when those intolerant people can be protected by the very laws which guarantee that tolerance but are not equipped to protect itself from being manipulated . Once these people are in the door, they can use the law to “ change” the law. Look at what changes the Obama Democrats have “ accomplished ” in the last 3 1/2 years.

Tell you what. Let’s all go over to their gosh-awful, godless countries and build churches to worship GOD ALMIGHTY. Actually, we don’t NEED a building, do we?

Posted on August 10, 2012 at 9:46amThanks to a federal judge and the Holder DOJ. Don’t you all feel so much safer with this crew in the White House ? Bringing all of that “ change ” stuff to America ? Out there protecting the rights of minorities over the evil majority and fighting their War on Capitalism and moving us ” Forward ?”

Posted on August 10, 2012 at 11:12amWhen it comes to the freedom of religion our founding fathers wrote into the Constitution, surely they were talking about the religion brought down from the mountain by Moses, and the religion of the Babe in the manger (Emanuel) whose birthday we celebrate every December goes without saying, and yes, even the false, but benign, religions like Buddhism and Hinduism etc. should be allowed to be practiced freely. But does anyone believe our founding fathers were talking about allowing the freedom to practice a cancerous religion that seeks to consume all other religions and peoples by the point of the sword?
These are radical times we live in and radical times call for radical action. Just as there is an exclusion to the freedom of speech—you cannot purposely yell fire in a crowded place—there should be an exclusion to the freedom of religion for this beast called Islam, lest it consumes us. Can we do it, can we amend the Constitution to ban this sham called Islam? To borrow a phrase from the Obama campaign, “YES WE CAN”!

Posted on August 10, 2012 at 11:16amso you want to change the Constitution? should we simply lock up all Muslims living in America? maybe we should lock up Neo Nazis and White Supremists then too. they’re just as dangerous. while we’re at it, let’s throw out the whole 1st Amendment – this whole free speech thing clearly isn’t working.

Posted on August 10, 2012 at 11:50amGiven the glowing praise Jefferson had for Islam, yes I would say that Islam was also included.
“to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mahomedan, the Hindoo, and Infidel of every denomination.” Jefferson on the Freedom of Religion Clause of the Virgina Constitution.

So, Christianity is out then?
“These are radical times we live in and radical times call for radical action. Just as there is an exclusion to the freedom of speech—you cannot purposely yell fire in a crowded place—there should be an exclusion to the freedom of religion…”
And surely, the exclusion will stop at Islam, right?
